As part of its plan to produce 75% of North American cars in North America, Volkswagen will be moving production of the 2014 Golf to Mexico.

Currently, the North American-spec Jetta and Beetle are manufactured in Pubela, Mexico. Earlier this week in a press release, Volkswagen announced the seventh-generation North American Golf will also move from Wolfsburg to Mexico.

It will begin its production run in the first part of 2014, and will go on sale shortly after in both North and South America.

VW also has a plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., where the Passat is manufactured separately from its German counterparts.
